In a post-apocalyptic world where mutations mean death, Ethan Jones hides a dangerous secret: a unique ability that helps him survive Melbourne’s treacherous ruins and the deadly Skel savages who stalk them. Life in his rigid town is hard enough, but everything changes when he rescues a mysterious Japanese girl whose bold defiance of convention puts both their lives at risk.
Her strange behavior—and their inexplicable connection—raise questions Ethan can’t ignore. As the Skel grow more organized and armed with advanced technology, a sinister plot begins to unfold, threatening the town’s fragile existence. Ethan must protect his secret, uncover the truth behind the girl’s intentions, and stop the Skel’s deadly advance. If he fails, the cost will be far greater than his life alone.
